2023–2027 Ram 1500 FAQ
How do I check the transmission fluid level?
2025–2027
The transmission has no dipstick, and routine level checks are unnecessary; an authorized dealer must use special service tools.
If you notice a leak or transmission malfunction, visit an authorized dealer immediately because an improper fluid level can severely damage the transmission.
Page 328 in the 2027 manual →2024
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required under normal conditions, but change both if the fluid is contaminated or the transmission is disassembled.
Do not use transmission additives, sealers, or chemical flushes; use only the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid.
Page 360 in the 2024 manual →2023
Routine checks are not required because the transmission has no dipstick; an authorized dealer must use special service tools to check the level.
If you notice a leak or transmission malfunction, visit an authorized dealer immediately because an improper fluid level can cause severe transmission damage.
Page 355 in the 2023 manual →When should I change the transmission fluid and filter?
2025–2027
With normal use, the factory-fill fluid is intended to last the vehicle's life; scheduled fluid and filter replacement is unnecessary.
Replace both if water or another contaminant gets into the fluid, or whenever the transmission is taken apart.

Routine fluid and filter changes are not required under normal conditions, but change both if the fluid is contaminated or the transmission is disassembled.
Use only the manufacturer-recommended fluid, and do not use additives, transmission sealers, or chemical flushes.
Page 355 in the 2023 manual →When should I change the engine oil?
2025–2027
Change the engine oil when the Oil Change Required message appears; the interval varies with your driving style because it is duty-cycle based.
Page 137 in the 2027 manual →How do I turn on the cargo and bed lights?
2025–2027
If equipped, push the cargo light button on the lower headlight switch, or use the bed switch while stationary; push the switch again to turn them off.
Page 83 in the 2027 manual →2024
If equipped, rotate the headlight switch to AUTO; the engine must be running for the headlights to turn on.
They can remain on for up to 90 seconds after the ignition is turned off; leave AUTO to disable the system.
Page 49 in the 2024 manual →2023
Check for a defective outside light if either turn signal stays lit without flashing or flashes at a very fast rate.
Page 51 in the 2023 manual →How does the oil change indicator tell me when service is due?
2024
The “Oil Change Required” message appears for five seconds after one chime, and the interval varies with your driving style.
Page 100 in the 2024 manual →2023
The "Oil Change Required" message indicates the next scheduled oil change interval, which varies with driving style because the system is duty-cycle based.
Page 103 in the 2023 manual →What should I do if a turn signal flashes too quickly?
2024
If a turn signal stays lit or flashes very quickly, check for a defective outside light bulb.
Page 51 in the 2024 manual →2023
If equipped, rotate the headlight switch to AUTO; the engine must be running for automatic mode to turn on the headlights.
The headlights may remain on for up to 90 seconds after the ignition is turned off; rotate the switch out of AUTO to disable the system.
Page 50 in the 2023 manual →What does it mean if the brake warning light flashes during sharp cornering?
2024
A brief flash during sharp cornering can reflect changing fluid levels; have the vehicle serviced and the brake fluid level checked.
Page 109 in the 2024 manual →Does spark plug replacement follow a yearly schedule?
2024
No. The spark plug replacement interval is based on mileage only; yearly intervals do not apply.
Page 338 in the 2024 manual →How long does remote start take, and which method is faster?
2023–2024
Depending on conditions, remote start can take three minutes or more; the key fob starts faster, but its range is limited.
Page 248 in the 2024 manual →Can someone drive away after I use remote start?
2024
No; the keys must be in the vehicle to drive it, and canceling remote start will not stop a vehicle already moving.
Page 248 in the 2024 manual →2023
No, driving still requires the keys to be inside the vehicle; Remote Start only warms or cools the interior before you arrive.
Page 252 in the 2023 manual →How do I have the cabin air filter serviced or replaced?
2023
The climate control system filters dust and pollen; have an authorized dealer service or replace the cabin air filter when needed.
